Shingles is caused by the chickenpox virus. You do not get shingles from someone with shingles; you get chickenpox from someone with shingles. Then when you get older, you will get shingles because you had chickenpox. Or, you might get older and never get chickenpox. In that case, you will thank your mother for having you vaccinated against chickenpox when you were a child.

Is shingles contaigous?

Yes, in a way. It is caused by the virus which causes Chicken Pox, and someone susceptible to Chicken Pox can get that from someone with Shingles. But if you've already had Chicken Pox, you won't catch Shingles. It's an opportunistic virus hiding out in your nervous system just waiting for your immune system to give it a chance. And if you've had the Chicken Pox vaccine, you should not be susceptible to either one.

First, you can't "catch shingles" from someone. You can get chickenpox from someone who has shingles, but only if two things are true:You have direct contact with the weeping shingles lesions; ANDYou have not had chickenpox or chickenpox vaccine in the past.You can't get chickenpox from someone with shingles if you are immune. You can't get it from being in the same room with them, either. A person with shingles can go about normal activities, including all work or school, as long as the lesions are covered.
